This article discusses privacy concerns surrounding period-tracking apps, particularly after the Roe v. Wade decision in the U.S. It highlights the risks associated with sensitive user data sharing, especially for women in states with new abortion restrictions. The ability of law enforcement to access incriminating information raises serious questions about privacy rights. Although there have been improvements such as encryption and anonymization, many apps still share device data with third parties, which can potentially lead to the identification of users and compromised privacy.
